Re: Switzerland What bugs me is this: if every other country does whatever they can to stop their currency from appreciating against the dollar (Japan, Switzerland) while the dollar is decreasing in value, then won't we just have global inflation via competetive devaluation? The Japanese and now the Swiss seem to be convinced that a trick as stupid as this will enhance their competitiveness in trade, when it just makes imports more expensive and hinders them moving from a manufacturing based economy to an intellectual property / services based economy. morganstanley.com

JG, the Swiss don't suck. They yodel. <g> Make money trading?!!!! What a concept! <g> A currency God. Gee, that sounds good after my many months of whining and kicking the dog on the Euro. <g> The Yen saved me a score of times and the Swissie has been friendly. So far, the Loon hasn't killed me, but I'm not buying a home in River Oaks with my Canadian Dollar profits, either. Gold has been very easy to trade with the options lately. The only mistake I've made is buying puts at the 305 level, and I've made up for that one. I haven't been as good on silver, though I'm in the black. Bonds have messed me up a bit with this "flight to safey," but I am convinced that the flight folks are going to have their feathers plucked but good about August. Surprise, surprise, bonds ain't safe. <g> Part of the fun of trading is to wheel larger sums of money than I have left after paying rent, buying groceries and hiring six ladies of the night at one time so I can play "The Sultan Chooses a Consort." The turban costs a pretty penny, too. <g> The big negative and one reason I'm cranky all the time is that New York inspects my clients longer and with much greater thoroughness than the Catholic Church takes to do a background check on priest candidates. If Bill Gates walked in, I couldn't open an account for him because he only receives a dollar a year in salary. But tell Bill not to let that discourage him from flying down here. We'll work something out. <g>
